At Anfield, the internal dispute to convince Jürgen Klopp to make him a first-choice player is becoming increasingly complex, with all the players looking to make the difference and secure a place in the starting line-up. So the choice is becoming more and more complex for Klopp and this enriches the team.
So that leaves some doubts about who could be in charge of being the usual centre forward, because although Nunez has been the usual player in this position during the last few games. With the level of Cody Gakpo's display today, the question of who deserves to be the Reds' first-choice striker arises again. While Nunez has been somewhat consistent, Gakpo is crying out for a chance to play.
So Gakpo could play as a starter in the next match with Fulham, where Klopp could enjoy a new investment in the usual position of another player, as Gakpo could play more as a midfielder, and is that previously he had already played this role, where he has left good impressions, and is that earlier in the tournament in the match against Bournemouth, Klopp played with Diogo Jota as a centre forward and Gakpo played as a midfielder.
So it would not be a big surprise to see Nunez and Gakpo in the same starting eleven together in the next few games, which is great news at Anfield and bad news for the other teams in the Premier League, who will suffer from having to face these two, who will no doubt be a nightmare for any defence.
The midfield is also a sector where there is only one place in contention, as Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister own the other places, so Gakpo will now have to compete for a place in the midfield against Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott. So this continues to increase Liverpool's internal competition.
